I'll give you a serious answer and that is the Supremes want to avoid this issue like the plague. Unlike the justices in Honduras, the court here will not step in to say the President should be removed.

I for one believe he was born in Hawaii. This is because I am sure Hillary had his FBI file in the back of her closet and it would have come out if he really wasn't. That would end the discussion for the vast majority of people because they interpret "natural born" as being born in the US as opposed, I guess, to being adopted. However, as you are pointing out it is a legal term of art that conveys a different meaning than what is the common interpretaion. The court could agree that it meant born of US parents but no judge is wanting to take that step for fear of igniting riots.

I am sure that many more still do. A person’s history should be easily traceable in an open society as ours. I am pretty sure that McCane knows details in Obama’s background — he ran against him for POTUS, for crying out loud.

Hill was shut up and I mean SHUT UP. Notice how she's but a mere shadow figure now. She might have had the goods on him but "they" had bigger goods on her and Bill. I suspect "they" presented her with an offer she couldn't refuse like she plays nice or it's orange suit time.

Roberts and friends got a "courtesy" visit on January 14th, before the inauguration. All the media was "briefed" as well, do we need to say more???

Why would she? He was a nonentity in 2000, the last time her Thighness had access to those FBI files. He was not even yet a freshman US Senator. He was an Illinois state senator, known for how frequently he voted "present".

Actually, it's as opposed to being born not entitled to US citizenship and then later becoming a US citizen via the process of naturalization. For instance, Schwarzenegger, Granholm, and Kissinger are ineligible because they are naturalized. They were born in Austria, Canada, and Germany, respectively, and only later became US citizens.

The court could agree that it meant born of US parents but no judge is wanting to take that step for fear of igniting riots.

No judge has the power to take that step. Under the Constitution, the sole power to remove the President resides with two thirds of the Senate, acting on a motion to impeach passed by a majority of the House. The most the Court could do is cough up an opinion (and send John Roberts, in extra-fancy robes, down to the Senate to count the votes).
